If only that were true... "Fixing a DOS machine" used to be the entry level skillset to get into IT. At this point, the issue is more faded memories than finding the people who did it. (My first real IT job was creating the DOS configurations for IBM ThinkPads at F100 corporation. Prior to that I was a total point-n-click Apple guy who was into DTP. If I could write a bullet-proof CONFIG.SYS, a lot other people could too. Those ThinkPads were weird too, some of them had more devices than available IRQs, including a "mwave" DSP, so you had to create boot menus. Plus, they were running token ring, and there was actually a relevant difference between ISA and PC AT.)
